(The Center Square) – The Illinois Republican candidate for U.S. Senate who won the June primary doesn’t appear on a ballot in Schuyler County and is demanding accountability after dozens of early votes have already been cast. .
It was the first day of the weeklong period for candidates to file their nominating petitions for federal, state and local offices on the June primary ballot. The Illinois State Board of Elections headquarters didn’t open until 8 a.m. But that didn’t stop candidates and staffers from gathering hours earlier despite snow and near freezing temperatures.
